Thus says the G-d, HASHEM, Who creates the heavens and stretches them forth; Who spreads out the earth and [brings out] its produce; Who gives a soul to the people upon it and a spirit to those who walk on it: [MeAm Lo'ez]
6 Ani HASHEM kraticha vetzedek ve'achzek beyadecha ve'etzorcha ve'etencha livrit am le'or goyim.
"I am HASHEM, have called you in righteousness and will strengthen your hand. I will
watch over you, having appointed you over the Covenantal people and a light to
the nations,
7 Lifkoach eynayim iverot lehotzi mimasger asir mibeit kele yoshvei choshech.
to open blind eyes, to release prisoners from confinement and dwellers in darkness from
the dungeon.
8 Ani HASHEM hu Shemi uchvodi le'acher lo-eten utehilati lapsilim.
I am HASHEM, that is My Name and I shall not give My honor
[glory] to another, nor My praise to idols.

Behold, the first things [prophecies] have already come and now I

Sing a new song to HASHEM, His praise from the end of the earth, those who go
down to the sea and those that fill it, the islands and their inhabitants!

The wilderness and its cities will lift up [their voices], the open cities
inhabited by Kedar; let the mountain dwellers sing, let them shout from the top
of the hills.

Myself. But I shall scream like a birthing woman, desolating them
and swallowing them together.

I shall destroy mountains and hills, desiccating all their
grass. I shall turn their rivers into islands and desiccate their ponds.

I shall guide the blind on a path they never knew and walk
them along an unknown way. I will turn darkness into light before them, and
crooked paths into straight ways. These are the things I shall accomplish
without fail.
17 Nasogu achor yevoshu voshet habotechim bapasel ha'omerim lemasechah atem eloheinu.

messenger? Who is as blind as the perfect one and as blind as the servant
of HASHEM?

But they are a plundered and trampled people, all trapped in
holes and hidden in prisons. They are looted and no one comes to the
rescue, trampled upon and on one to say, "Give it back!"
23 Mi vachem ya'azin zot yakshiv veyishma le'achor.
Who among you will listen to this, who will pay attention and
hear of the past? [MeAm Lo'ez]
24 Mi-natan limeshisah Yaakov veYisrael levozezim halo HASHEM zu chatanu lo velo-avu vidrachav haloch velo shame'u betorato.
Who gave Yaakov over to be trampled upon and Yisrael to
plunderers, if not HASHEM? This was our sinning against Him, not wanting
to walk in His ways nor listen to His Torah.

did not take it to heart.

43:1
Ve'atah koh-amar HASHEM bora'acha Yaakov veyotzercha Yisrael al-tira ki ge'alticha karati veshimcha li-atah.
But now, Yaakov, thus says HASHEM, your Creator, and your Maker,
Yisrael: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name -
you are Mine!
[MeAm Lo'ez]
When you pass through waters, I am with you; through rivers -
they will not sweep you away. When you walk through fire you shall not be
scalded and flames will not kindle you.
For I am HASHEM, your G-d, the Holy One of Yisrael, your Savior.
I have given you ransom from Egypt and placed Kush and Seva beneath you.
Because you are dear in My eyes, honored and I love you, I shall
place mankind underneath you and nations beneath your soul.
Fear not, for I am with you - I shall bring your children from
the East and gather you from the West.
All are called in My Name, I created them for My glory, I formed
and made them.
To take out a blind people who have eyes and deaf ones who have
ears.
[If] all the nations would assemble together, all the
nationalities congregate, who among them could predict such things, or tell us
of things already come. Let them bring forth their proofs and be
justified, or let them hear and say, "it is true."
You are My witnesses, says HASHEM, and My servant whom I have
chosen, so tha tyou should know and believe in Me, and understand that I am He.
Before Me was nothing created by any god and after Me shall not be."
